There's another bombshell in the Inspector General's report on Hillary Clinton that makes clear that once again Hillary has been telling lies. Certainly, proof of Hillary Clinton's dishonesty ought to shock no one, but this lie is about one of her main defenses in the email mess. For about a year, Hillary Clinton has been telling the American voter that she turned over all her work related emails to the State Department. Only personal stuff about yoga and Chelsea's wedding were deleted. At least that has been the central tenet of the Clinton defense. Now, we learn that this clearly is not the case. Three very important emails from/to Hillary were referenced by the Inspector General in the report. The first of the missing emails comes from November 2010 and in it, Hillary says that she is concerned that if she has to use the government email system her personal correspondence could become accessible to outsiders (through the Freedom of Information Act). The email was sent when Hillary was told of about the need to use the official system to maintain security. The other two emails are from 2011 and they tell Hillary Clinton that her system had to be shut down because of attempts by outsiders to hack into it. Hillary is thus informed that there are very real security concerns about the jury-rigged system she had set up for herself. These emails go to the very heart of the email controversy, and they are very clearly work related. These three emails also put Clinton in a very bad light. The first makes clear that from the very beginning, Hillary knew that she was violating State Department rules. The other two make clear that Clinton knew that she was putting national secrets at risk with her system. Still, somehow these three emails just didn't get turned over to the State Department. The Inspector General had to get the emails from the files of others.
Without a doubt, we will soon hear the Clinton counterattack on this subject. They will trot out their story that at the very beginning of Clinton's time at the State Department, she lost some of her emails because of changes in the computer system. This is a defense that Hillary used when emails to and from Sidney Blumenthal turned up on his system but they were somehow missing on hers. This defense does not work. The lost emails all are dated March of 2009 or earlier; none of these three are even close to that date. We will surely hear that this is no big deal because the IG was able to get the email from the files of others. That truly is brazen. Clinton had a legal obligation to keep and turn over these emails. She broke the law by not doing so. Then she lied in claiming that she had turned everything over. Fortunately she was thwarted in her effort to hide the truth from the public. Now we are supposed to forgive her because she failed in her efforts? That would be like having someone attack you in an attempt to kill you and then to have those actions ignored because you survived the attack. Nope, it's still attempted murder, and it's still a crime.
It's only a matter of time before Hillary completely collapses.
